Question

Marcy is running for student body president. Which sentence in this excerpt from her campaign speech uses parallel structure?

1) I think I will make a good president because I am honest, trustworthy, and I'm behaving responsibly.

3) I will convince the school board to install vending machines with healthier snacks in the school cafeteria and ensuring that they review the cafeteria lunch menu to include healthier meal options.
4) I also plan to organize more school dances and give my fellow students more opportunities to interact socially.

Been stuck on this for an hour.. just because they're all parallel but I can't come to a conclusion which one is the correct answer

Answer 2

The sentence from her excerpt that uses a parallel structure is, option 4. I also plan to organize more school dances and (to) give my fellow students more opportunities to interact socially. Parallel structure or parallelism is the use of consistent grammatical tenses and words within the sentence. This is the only sentence that is consistent with its tense.
